A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Georgia Tech Cable Network, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:
All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.
First off, please do not remove PROD tags. Let the PROD procedure run its course and let the admins have their say first. Second, a university cable company is not that notable. Several universities have them and Georgia Tech is the only one with a page dedicated to it....but it isn't notable. Verizon FiOS or Comcast, those are notable cable companies, this isn't. - NeutralHomer • Talk • April 16, 2009 @ 05:53
Perhaps you are confusing PROD with AFD? I've been here long enough to know that the notice you put on my talk page means what it says - any user can remove the tag for really any reason. —Disavian (talk/contribs) 06:27, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
No, not really. That would be an edit war. I have also been here long enough to know the rules. I can nom the page for AFD if you like....I would rather the admins have a look, but if you want it to go straight to AFD, that is fine with me. - NeutralHomer • Talk • April 16, 2009 @ 06:29
PROD isn't about having an admin look at it, it's just a low-pressure method of suggesting deletion. There really is no other way of interpreting "You may remove this message if you improve the article or otherwise object to deletion for any reason." From WP:PROD: "Proposed deletion is the way to suggest that an article is uncontroversially a deletion candidate, but that it does not meet the more stringent criteria for speedy deletion. If a PROD tag is added to an article, the article will be deleted about 5 days later if nobody objects. If any user objects—usually by removing the tag—then the article may be taken to Articles for Deletion for further discussion." —Disavian (talk/contribs) 06:34, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
Well, you wanted it nom'd for deletion (AFD), I nominated it. It will surely get deleted now. There was a chance that it might get saved with the PROD tag on there. - NeutralHomer • Talk • April 16, 2009 @ 06:37
AfD nomination of Georgia Tech Cable Network
I have nominated Georgia Tech Cable Network, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Georgia Tech Cable Network. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.
Sorry, I did not know about archive.org, I just went to the reference and it said it wasn't found. Anyway, it seems like you messed up the references with your edit. The reference for fight songs, takes you to the page about the controversy. The reference for the controversy that you re-added is still the "dead" one. Brinkley32 (talk) 01:55, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free media (File:DealsPlus Homepage.png)
Thanks for uploading File:DealsPlus Homepage.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 09:56, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
Not really sure. They probably want more refs, and instead of a list of years, distinct paragraphs describing the event's history, etc. Sadly, I don't know of any really good convention articles to use as a model here. —Disavian (talk/contribs) 17:04, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
Is there a defined way that lists/tables are supposed to be organized? In articles such as College of Management (GT), the table doesn't appear to have any organization or a sort button. Aside from tables with the sort options, I am not sure whether a list of notable alumni would be better sorted alphabetically (to easily find a known person), or chronologically by graduation (to track "accomplishment"/changes over time). (If you can't tell, I'm at a sub-novice wikipeida competence right now)Cdbkey1 (talk) 18:07, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
I added a "sortable" parameter to the template, but it's not enabled by default. I need to decide whether to enable it by default or manually add it to each section of each list. —Disavian (talk/contribs) 18:22, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
Georgia Institute of Technology GA Sweeps: On Hold
I have reviewed Georgia Institute of Technology for GA Sweeps to determine if it still qualifies as a Good Article. In reviewing the article I have found several issues, which I have detailed here. Since you are a main contributor of the article (determined based on this tool), I figured you would be interested in contributing to further improve the article. Please comment there to help the article maintain its GA status. If you have any questions, let me know on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. --Happy editing!

Georgia Institute of Technology Featured Article Nomination
When you submit this article for FAC, drop me a note. I'd like to do what I can to see that it gets promoted. In the meantime, I've added a handful of tags to the article in spots where things weren't clear. JKBrooks85 (talk) 04:51, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
The (relatively) new template {{alum/start}} didn't have a sortable parameter. And I think that some parserfunctions may have changed as well. The question is, do we want to enable sorting by default? I designed the original template, and that's how I had it, and I doubt anyone is going to object to that feature. —Disavian (talk/contribs) 18:25, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
